Line 39:
*"Pecos Pest" features Jerry's Uncle Pecos chasing Tom [[Ax Crazy|with an ax]], because he needs [[Memetic Mutation|"Yer' wisker for mah' git-ar string!"]]. It sounds funny until you see that Pecos is [[The Determinator]] when it comes to getting that string, and consider the consequences had he wanted anything else.
*And how could this list be complete without Tom ''actually getting guillotined'' at the end of "The Two Mouseketeers"?
** [[Ron the Death Eater]]: Jerry is a [[Complete Monster]]! Tommy never ever did ''anything'' wrong! Tom was only following his instincts, how ''dare'' Jerry object to being eaten!
** [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Jerry is a cute lovable mouse! It doesn't matter if he ruins Tom's life again, again, and again! It doesn't matter if he steals food and other things from the houses owners! That dirty tomcat deserves all the abuse he gets!
** This actually made it's way in universe to some extent. Allegedly Hanna Barbara got several letters from fans rather irked by the heavy punishment Tom suffered in many early short. As a result many more later shorts actually let Tom [[Team Rocket Wins|get the last laugh]] (most of which were karmic victories due to Jerry starting the feud).
* [[The Scrappy]]: Tom has had a lot of owners over the years, some were mean, some were abusive, and some should be in jail for cruelty to animals, and the worst among that last one, whom fans truly hated, was Clint Clobber. Poor Tom has suffered greatly at the hands of this monster, including being beaten with a frying pan, burned with a grill, and being tied to an elephant in a way that resulted in poor Tom being crushed between the elephant and a rock. Not to mention that a lot of the things he punishes Tom for are mostly (or totally) Jerry's fault. ''And'' he tended to smile sadistically every time Tom was hurt! It was hardly a surprise that Clint only appeared in three cartoons.
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: Some consider this to have happened in the late Hanna-Barbara era from late 1955-1958, as the series had veered into a [[Lighter and Softer]] tone as well as the use of [[Limited Animation|lower budget animation]].
